Seriously, I have a small garden to see to, I have to finish my review of The Final Sacrifice, have my hair cut and I have to man up to say goodbye to Mom next Friday. I would much rather not do the latter but there it is.

Pretty average weekend - my wife will drag me out to this place for shopping, that place for shopping, and then the other place for shopping. Our girls come home from college on the weekends looking for somebody to do their laundry and usually in dire need of extra money due to totally unforeseen and unavoidable circumstance which - through absolutely no fault of their own - caused them to run short this week.

We'll have some beers Friday and Saturday night and watch some movies

“Any intelligent person knows that life is a beautiful thing and that the purpose of life is to be happy...But it seems only idiots are ever happy. How can we explain this?”

I work every weekend at the slowly failing convenience store.....business is way off due to the boss and his Dad price gouging,being seriously rude and cheating people. They won't give us raises again due to this so it sucks to even be there.

I will spend Saturday keeping her company.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

2. I may look for a new car. I would really like to wait another year before buying one, but mine needs about $5,000 worth of work. If I need to spend that much money, I should probably just buy a new car.

3. My wife and I will probably play a few board games. It is her turn to choose the next game. I suspect she will choose:

4. Sunday is football, football, football from 1:00 p.m. until possibly 11:30 p.m. or later.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Not only was it awesome with a brief Q and A after, but as it was the closing night of the festival the organisers had a big party at a bar nearby and things got very messy. The Soska sisters who directed American Mary are top notch people. I found out later that Elvira was in town for the festival too which is a shame because getting a photo would have made some people here very jealous. They also had plenty of drink cards well above the value of the tickets we purchased for the movie so it was great fun.

House sitting for my parents who've gone to see an opera in London directed by my brother. Dug up 60 molehills in their garden and used the soil to create a new flowerbed. Took a bike ride to an old disused railway line where you can literally freewheel for over 1 mile going along it because of the slight incline, but it doesn't feel like you're going downhill. Now watching THE DEATH OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK on Sky Horror. Ho-Hum.

Reading through this makes me thing that it is amazing now much we fit into our days after you realize how much time it takes just to do the requirements (meals, hygiene, chores). Being able to spend 6-8 hours painting a room doesn't seem like such an easy thing.

We have cleaned up the house, visited with Katie's mom while I did some repair on her kitchen faucet, and picked up some clothes that the kids needed for winter (boots, etc). Yesterday was the aquarium day, because Jenna asked if she could trade in her Halloween candy for an aquarium so we bought and set that up. Today should be all time to relax.

I may try and go arrowhead hunting tomorrow. Sunday I have some major church drama headed my way and I am NOT looking forward to it.

Not exactly similar, but we took the kids fossil hunting along MD's Calvert Cliffs a little while back. Found a number of smaller shark's teeth, a few complete shells, a crocodile tooth, some turtle skuts, quite a bit of coral, a rib from a marine mammal, a dolphin or porpoise earbone, and some vertebra. No Megalodon teeth nor complete Ecphora shell, sadly.
